What's the relationship between Pegaso and Modec?

| 6 Comments | No TrackBacks

Well I'm really impressed that two of you have managed to link the Kalmar with the Iveco Stralis in just 3 degrees of separation.

What about another one? How many degrees of separation are there between the Pegaso and the Modec? I'll be very surprised if anyone can do this in 3 degrees.

I will play it safe and do it in three.
Interntional Harvester once owned Seddon Atkinson.
Seddon Atkinson used Pegasso cabs.
International Harvester or its parent Navistar,
will assemble the Modec zev here in the states in Indiania.

1. Pegaso were taken over by Iveco.

2. Modec have just formed a joint-venture with Navistar.

3. Navistar (International) trucks are assembled in Australia by Iveco.

Pegaso along with DAF and Seddon Atkinson was during the 1970s European division of International Harvester.

International today are looking at an agreement to sell Modec in the US.

Richard Stanier

In the early 1980's International Harvester had a 35% stake in ENASA, the parent company of Pegaso.

IH is now known as Navistar Corporation and they are working on a joint venture to sell the Modec in North America.

Hi Will, I sent a comment in a few days ago but it didn't post,so I will try again.
The connection is International Harvester.
International Harvester used to own Seddon Atkinson.
Seddon Atkinson used Pegasso cabs. (stratos/troner)
Navistar, International Harvesters parent company
will be assembling the Modec ZEV in Indiana and
distributing them throughout North America.

Nice pic of a Pegaso bocanegra (T-1 was the technical name of that range)...is that in Cuba?
